A strong community provides support, inspiration, and accountability. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals can accelerate your growth and success. 	“Your community is your ecosystem—nurture it, and it will nurture you in return.”

Building a Supportive Community

You don’t have to follow the rules society sets for you. By creating your own rules, you take control of your life and shape your reality according to your desires. 	“Create your own rules and live by them. That’s how extraordinary lives are built.”

Creating Your Own Rules

Forgiveness frees you from the emotional baggage that holds you back. By letting go of past grievances, you open up space for new possibilities and greater achievements. 	“Forgiveness isn’t about others; it’s about freeing yourself from the weight of the past.”

Importance of Forgiveness

Visualization is a tool for manifesting your desires. By vividly imagining your goals as already achieved, you program your subconscious mind to work towards making them a reality. 	“See it in your mind, and you can hold it in your hand—this is the power of visualization.”

Power of Visualization

Effective goal setting involves balancing big dreams with small, actionable steps. It’s about setting intentions that inspire you and then breaking them down into manageable tasks. 	“Set big goals but break them down into small steps—this is the science of achieving greatness.”

Science of Goal Setting

Bending reality is about aligning your goals and emotions so that what you desire comes to you effortlessly. It’s the practice of achieving extraordinary results without the traditional struggle. 	“When you learn to bend reality, life starts working for you, not against you.”

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • What if everything we think we know about how the world works—our ideas of love, education, spirituality, work, happiness, and love—are based on Brules (bullsh*t rules) that get passed from generation to generation and are long past their expiration date? This book teaches you to think like some of the greatest non-conformist minds of our era, to question, challenge, hack, and create new rules for YOUR life so you can define success on your own terms. The Code of the Extraordinary Mind is a blueprint of laws to break us free from the shackles of an ordinary life. It makes a case that everything we know about the world is shaped by conditioning and habit. And thus, most people live their lives based on limiting rules and outdated beliefs about pretty much everything—love, work, money, parenting, sex, health, and more—which they inherit and pass on from generation to generation.

What would your life look like if you could forget the rules of the past, and redefine what happiness, purpose, and success mean for you?

In a unique fusion of cutting-edge ideas, personal stories, irreverence, and a brilliant teaching style, Lakhiani reveals the 10 powerful laws that form a step-by-step process that you can apply to life to shed years of struggle and elevate yourself to exceptional new heights.
